8.03 miles in 1:05:40, 8:11/mi, HR 140 & stretching. Sunny (80F). Still having trouble getting out of first gear. First 2 miles were 8:30s, next 2 8:20s, last four finally into the 7:45-8:05 range. Can't seem to stride out, like all the muscles are tense even when not in the active stage of a stride. I'll try to stretch some more later tonight. |
